/*
 * This class implements a counting Bloom filter as described at
 * <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter#Counting_filters>, with
 * 8-bit counters.  This allows quick probabilistic answers to the
 * question "is object X in set Y?" where the contents of Y might not
 * be time-invariant.  The probabilistic nature of the test means that
 * sometimes the answer will be "yes" when it should be "no".  If the
 * answer is "no", then X is guaranteed not to be in Y.
 *
 * The filter is parametrized on KeySize, which is the size of the key
 * generated by each of hash functions used by the filter, in bits,
 * and the type of object T being added and removed.  T must implement
 * a |uint32_t hash() const| method which returns a uint32_t hash key
 * that will be used to generate the two separate hash functions for
 * the Bloom filter.  This hash key MUST be well-distributed for good
 * results!  KeySize is not allowed to be larger than 16.
 *
 * The filter uses exactly 2**KeySize bytes of memory.  From now on we
 * will refer to the memory used by the filter as M.
 *
 * The expected rate of incorrect "yes" answers depends on M and on
 * the number N of objects in set Y.  As long as N is small compared
 * to M, the rate of such answers is expected to be approximately
 * 4*(N/M)**2 for this filter.  In practice, if Y has a few hundred
 * elements then using a KeySize of 12 gives a reasonably low
 * incorrect answer rate.  A KeySize of 12 has the additional benefit
 * of using exactly one page for the filter in typical hardware
 * configurations.

  /*
   * A counting Bloom filter with 8-bit counters.  For now we assume
   * that having two hash functions is enough, but we may revisit that
   * decision later.
   *
   * The filter uses an array with 2**KeySize entries.
   *
   * Assuming a well-distributed hash function, a Bloom filter with
   * array size M containing N elements and
   * using k hash function has expected false positive rate exactly
   *
   * $  (1 - (1 - 1/M)^{kN})^k  $
   *
   * because each array slot has a
   *
   * $  (1 - 1/M)^{kN}  $
   *
   * chance of being 0, and the expected false positive rate is the
   * probability that all of the k hash functions will hit a nonzero
   * slot.
   *
   * For reasonable assumptions (M large, kN large, which should both
   * hold if we're worried about false positives) about M and kN this
   * becomes approximately
   *
   * $$  (1 - \exp(-kN/M))^k   $$
   *
   * For our special case of k == 2, that's $(1 - \exp(-2N/M))^2$,
   * or in other words
   *
   * $$    N/M = -0.5 * \ln(1 - \sqrt(r))   $$
   *
   * where r is the false positive rate.  This can be used to compute
   * the desired KeySize for a given load N and false positive rate r.
   *
   * If N/M is assumed small, then the false positive rate can
   * further be approximated as 4*N^2/M^2.  So increasing KeySize by
   * 1, which doubles M, reduces the false positive rate by about a
   * factor of 4, and a false positive rate of 1% corresponds to
   * about M/N == 20.
   *
   * What this means in practice is that for a few hundred keys using a
   * KeySize of 12 gives false positive rates on the order of 0.25-4%.
   *
   * Similarly, using a KeySize of 10 would lead to a 4% false
   * positive rate for N == 100 and to quite bad false positive
   * rates for larger N.
